Hi all - came across this today - a great little article, from 1927, talking about Warren G. Harding and his history of playing the helicon bass. A great read - esp. if you like war stories that involve getting shrapnel in your horn!

Were there other tuba/helicon playing Presidents besides Harding?
To my knowledge, Harding is the only one.
